Use when anticipating the objections a law-and-economics referee at The Journal of Law and Economics (JLE) will raise, so a manuscript pre-empts them before submission or addresses them in revision. Plans the defense around JLE's single-blind process; it does not draft the response letter (jle-rebuttal) or run the submission preflight (jle-submission).

# Referee Strategy (jle-referee-strategy)

## When to trigger

- The paper is near submission and you want to stress-test it against the referees it will draw
- You need to decide which robustness/legal-design checks to run *before* submitting vs. hold in reserve
- An R&R arrived and you must map referee concerns to concrete responses
- You want to understand how JLE's single-blind process shapes strategy

## How JLE review works (plan around it)

JLE uses **single-blind review**: the **authors' identities are visible to referees** (the title page carries your name), while referees stay anonymous (检索于 2026-06；以官网为准). This changes strategy in two ways. First, **do not anonymize the manuscript** — that is the AEJ/JLEO reflex, not JLE; the title page should name you. Second, because referees know who you are, your **track record and your self-citations are visible**, so positioning honestly and not over-claiming matters more, not less. Referees here are **economists who also know the legal institution**; the modal report attacks (1) whether the institution is described correctly and the rule really binds, (2) the credibility of the legal identification, then (3) magnitude/mechanism and external validity across jurisdictions. Pre-empt the predictable objections in the paper itself.
